Gas-Oil Ratio

gas-oil ratio

[¦gas ¦ȯil ‚rā·shō]

(petroleum engineering)

Approximation of oil-reservoir composition, expressed in cubic feet of gas per barrel of liquid at 14.7 psia and 60°F (15.6°C).

Gas-Oil Ratio

the ratio between the amount of gas (in cu m) obtained from a deposit through a well, reduced to atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 20° C, and the amount of petroleum (in tons or cu m) extracted at the same time under the same pressure and temperature. The gas-oil ratio depends on the proportions of gas and petroleum in the stratum, the physical and geological properties of the stratum, the type and rate of operation, the pressure in the stratum, and so on. The gas-oil ratio is an important indicator of the expenditure of reservoir energy and the determination of gas resources in a petroleum deposit.

In order to enhance oil production and the gas-oil ratio, Saudi Aramco selected GE for agreements totaling nearly $500 million to supply a broad range of equipment and services for an expansion of the Shaybah gas-oil processing facilities.

The new expansion is expected to enable Saudi Aramco to further increase crude production to 1 million bpd and increase the gas-oil ratio (GOR) of the field from 1,800 to 7,200 standard cubic feet per stock tank barrel (scf/stb).

The new expansion is expected to enable Saudi Aramco to further increase crude production to one million barrels per day and increase the gas-oil ratio (GOR) of the field from 1,800 to 7,200 standard cubic feet per stock tank barrel (scf/stb).
